4 Reasons Why Chicago Businesses Should Invest in Market Research

When setting a course for your Chicago company’s marketing success, there is a lot to consider. Print ads, Facebook campaigns, website design – the different directions you can take are endless. How do you know which one will make the best use of both your time and money?

One of the best ways to begin is by conducting some market research. Partnering with a professional marketing firm such as GMS to conduct this research will help your Chicago business succeed.

Here are 4 reasons why Chicago businesses should invest in market research:

  1. Market research helps you better understand your target customer. No matter what industry you are in, the customer is the most important thing. Understand them and you are well on your way to success. Market research helps you better define who that person is and how best to reach them.
  2. Market research provides a competitive analysis. Want to know more about your competitors? A market research helps uncover who they are and how they differ from you. You will gain insight into how much of the market share you own and also how you can better grow your piece of the pie.
  3. Market research uncovers the best advertising mediums for success. There are many ways to market your Chicago business, but which way is best? A good analysis will help you discover the top advertising mediums for your unique objectives and consumer base.
  4. Market research makes better use of your budget dollars. When you have a clear idea of what marketing efforts will be beneficial to your Chicago business, you know how best to spend your budget dollars. Don’t throw money out the window – use it smartly with a plan backed by research.

    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
